Czechia - Film




Burning Bush

This review is for all three episodes put together as they are really just one long story. It does a good job of showing people in a bad situation; How do you challenge a legal system in a tyranny and expect to win? How do you deal with the loss of your son? How do you deal with the state seeking to crush you? Our main character was given the awful choice of risking her family's well being or fighting for justice.

You get a real sense in this film that even those people working within the tyranny know it's a tyranny but feel helpless to do anything about it. This film is also an excellent period piece and made me feel like I was watching something filmed in the late 1960's in eastern Europe.
